The tribute that are preparing in Boca Juniors for Maradona's first birthday without him

Boca Juniors will host Gimnasia at La Bombonera, on Saturday October 30 at 8.15 pm, for the 19th date of the championship. Although this news was already known, the fans began to plan a very special tribute on social networks: it is the day that Diego Maradona would turn 61.

From the leadership of the club it has not yet been announced if they will make any distinction, although it is believed that there will be a commemoration. For their part, the supporters prepare different actions to show their eternal love to the idol who wore the xeneize shirt and also directed their rival.

The memory of Maradona's last visit to La Bombonera will be difficult to erase: it was on March 7, 2020, when he directed Gimnasia and Boca won 1-0 with a goal from Carlos Tevez to become Superliga champion. That night he received an unforgettable ovation from his people.

In Saturday's game against Lanús, which marked the return of the fans to the Bombonera, there was a great ovation to Diego when the 10 minutes of play were completed. The same happened in the meetings of the Argentine National Team and it is likely that this tribute will become a tradition.
